| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus Aetophoros enthroned to the left upon a low stool-throne, his body draped from the waist down in a himation. The god extends his outstretched right hand forward upon which an eagle stands with wings closed, while his left hand grasps a tall upright sceptre. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs to the right of the figure, proclaiming the issue in the name of Alexander. To the left field, the control letter И identifies the issuing authority or mint official. The composition follows the canonical posthumous Alexander type closely associated with the broader Alexandrine coinage tradition of the late third and early second century BC. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nisyros, a volcanic island in the southern Aegean, struck coins only briefly and in small quantities during the late 3rd and early 2nd centuries BC — likely tied to the commercial disruptions following Rome's decisive intervention in Macedonian affairs and the subsequent reshuffling of Aegean trade routes. Price 2508 is among the scarcer island tetradrachms of the period, with relatively few specimens recorded in major collections.
The issue follows the posthumous Alexandrine coinage tradition that continued circulating through much of the eastern Mediterranean long after Alexander's death, minted locally to facilitate regional commerce rather than as royal proclamation.
